It's a good idea but technically it's a guide/tutorial so it should stay here.

It would be worth putting a list of players on each server in the 'add me thread'

But I also think it'll have to be cleared with the developers as they may not be keen on server information being shared, I'll see what happens.

117 for the Raptors!, However having scratched the surface a little bit, I think it is obvious that the "servers" for T11 are in a hosted farm (provider Redstation UK). As such, I think it highly unlikely that there is a dedicated IP assigned for every physicalserver. What is more likely is that typical of Hosting Providers, Nordeus pay for the "hundreds" of Virtual servers which may or may not be sitting on a 1-1 mapping of a Physical server. Also in a hosting environment, very rarely is the private IP broadcast over the Internet. Load balancers would probably make available a pool of Virtual IP addresses (what we see) mapped to the domain Top11 and then redirect traffic to a specific V-server depending on UserID.

So it is likely that you may find another user who has the same address, but also equally likely that they are sitting on a different V-Server.

Preetty sure that T11 uses a lot more than 256 servers (where 256 would be the limit of the last set in an IP address)

using friendlier terms
pretty much my guesstimation too. multiple 'server numbers' (the yellow digit) per server machine. i just used loads of non techy terms so everyday users can follow along on the quest to at least swipe some information from nordeus
so far from the indo groupings page i had 4 people add me claiming to be from 215. they all checked out. dont know when we have to fish out more info but adding in more parts of the said server number IPs going to be chaotic
